Just a small suggestion, the footage used of India seems to be many years old, our streets are not always dust filled, with people carrying luggage over their heads and with half broken vehicles on the road. WSJ is a large platform, please do right by the places you cover on the world scale.
Idk about you but living in Kolkata, this is pretty much a daily scene. You don't have to be in Sealdah station to see this; just drive through Park Circus or Behala. I know what you're trying to say, images such as these perpetuate 'third world' stereotypes of India as still underdeveloped, but we are an overpopulated postcolonial nation with many migrant workers still highly exploited, precarious, and poor, and regardless of whether our middle class throngs malls with shopping bags or our "lower class" on streets with luggage over their heads, the reality is that we are still treating ourselves and each other, performatively, as obedient capitalist workers, slave ants -- and personally, the images of malls seem the most dystopian and depressing.
One way India can do right by its people is by investing heavily in its infrastructure and then relying on businesses (in-house and external) that will care about ethical and humanitarian issues and not be solely driven by profits. But the lack of infrastructure and huge unskilled workforce is no net positive.
Infrastructure is growing now faster compared to other decades(urban transit, expressways,institutions etc) main problem or fear is increasing rate of unemployment which will never solve completely atleast not in near future to defeat unemployment it should grow 18% which is nearly impossible.
@@rishav2205 Wow, well i think if we build infrastructure even faster we would create relatively more employment through contruction itself but also help create an ecosystm for people to create and build more businesses which would create more employment, however the other major issue is the lack of skilled workforce who is able to compete with increasing cost effective technological solutions hence why i say the future employment lies in the effort of ethical and humanitarian driven businesses more. With the metric you offered makes me think India shuld seriously enact a population control policy because not doing so will only ensure more people will suffer more in coming decades...but maybe im wrong im not aware of all the metrics of the economy on the macro level.
@@KD9-37 yeah we should have more businesses that can generate employment but another positive is happening that many companies are going setup industries in future.
India is already doing that... foreign investment in India has increased as well! India is where China was 10-12 years ago. 50% of India is still living close to poverty line and hopefully these investments will push them away from poverty!
Right now i believe India should focus on investing in infrastructure that will boost in connecting the states of India and its economies. The economy of China is extremely connected and even tho they might speak different languages (similar writing script but different pronounciation) they have been able to create a system that is extremely efficient. Once India can fix it's infra problem they can allow the economy to grow even more as now India can supply itself and pay itself and grow it's domestic market while producing goods that might entice the global market.
Just investing Infra is Not enough...there has to be people and businesses (both small n big) to utilise that infra to do more business and for other convenience.

I'm applying for software jobs and so many positions I see open are hiring people from within India. Would not surprise me if they become a tech superpower (which I guess some people view it as already there, but that's debatable)
Tons of companies hire Indian employees to do lower level jobs. If you have had the chance to work with them, I don’t think you would think this though. They’re super talented and bright, but they generally will only do exactly as told and don’t propose independent ideas. It can often be frustrating as someone from the US where independent thought and innovation is highly sought after and stressed.
@@ThisDugan I think workplace culture partly plays a role: things are fairly hierarchical, so lower-level employees aren't really encouraged/incentivized to innovate.
India needs to get rid of its lingering caste biases first. There have been countless cases of Indian workers in foreign companies refusing to listen to their manager because the boss comes from a lower caste, or even more egregiously, the manager willingly submitting to being bullied by their underlings due to his inferior social position. That is ridiculous, and must be stamped out.
It is asinine that India will have more people than China this decade. Also, this is unrelated, but it really saddens me a lot that in several China vs. India military comparison videos, many YT users support India over China and that so many YT users belittle China and their army. China seems to get way too much hate, while India gets too much support and pride. I can literally list 1K comments that support India and 1K comments that dislike China. I heard words such as "Jai Hind India" and "Support India from Japan". China always seems to carry the burden of hate in many YT videos, very unfair.
mainly cause of the CCP. Also India is seen as the underdog, though I guess not anymore soon as they are one of the fastest developing countries in the world now due to relatively large infusion into infrastructure and pro capitalist reforms. But don’t be sad man, the West also has its own problems and I know as i live here 😂
That’s what listening to sensationalized “free” media does to people. Common sense and fact checking goes out the window because of hate, confirmation bias, etc. I saw a video the other day claiming that India’s new STOBAR carrier was “better” than the new Chinese CATOBAR carrier and the only evidence was “STOBAR carriers are tried and true” lol
That's because China bullies its neighbours. If China wants to counter the US, it needs to have a stable and friendly relationship with its neighbours. When they stop bullying everyone, people's perception may change. Chinese people are nice but half the world hates their government.
what do you expect? TH-cam is banned in China while it isnt banned in India, so of course Indian nationalists are more prevalent than chinese nationalists
There is no way India will ever touch 1.7 billion. The fertility rate of India is now 1.9 in 2023 and is declining at the rate of 7-8% per annum. India's population will peak around 1.6 billion between 2050-2055 and then decline to 900 million by 2100. At the same time, China's population will not be 750 million but somewhere between 500-550 million.
1.9 fertility rate of India? Where did you get this data from?? It's still more than 2.1. And not to mention the fact that India has millions of illegal/undocumented immigrants from much more densely populated neighbor Bangladesh, plus Rohingyas. It never seemed they would be deported in future and rather would get regularised here over time and these people have high fertility rates. And, densely populated states like Bihar and eastern UP still maintains fertility rate over 3 even now. So, touching a figure of 1.7 billion seems no unrealistic to me.

Hey WSJ, Thank you for showing India as a one big market street. We Indians never go out without atleast 10k people already on the street. Please we are a developing nation not a poor country
If the economic rise and development is guaranteed by the rise of population, then the most densely populated state of Bihar in India would have been more fairly developed instead of being one of the most impoverished states in India.
@Tyt Xlx At the same time, Bihar also need to work on some cultural reforms to check it's fertility rate which is more than 3 and highest in India. Apart from this, I don't think power sharing should be completely loose free as per the population ratio shared by the states as the equal representation and opportunity of the diverse federal states based on their linguistic and cultural identity needs to be guaranteed to some extent by some mechanism regardless of their population size. Else, smaller distinct states in India would practically loose their voice in the parliament.
Nothing against India but if take into account AI will replace many jobs in the next future and you have a enormous unskilled population this looks like more like burden than a advantage.

It's not like India's population increase happened overnight. Yes, it's a milestone. But if an increased population had any economic impact, we would have seen its clear effects over the past decade or so in tandem with their population increase. If you have been following the news, they pointed out that AI would replace many jobs in China. Having a larger population would actually worsen the employment situation. Considering the exponential development of tech like AI, countries should be decreasing their population right now, not increasing. It's about timing. India got their timing wrong.
AI and automation can actually ruin a country. Technological advancements were good in the past as it made it more effective in certain fields. But now people will only loose jobs. People will not go for kids in such situations. In the end a countries progress depends upon the government and tax payers. If there aren't many Tax payers then a country can't grow or do well.

So India should invest heavily in infrastructure so that companies would relocate manufacturing there creating a lot of jobs. I guess in the next few decades "made in India" will be a thing.
The biggest political push is made in india only. Also in recent budget the capital expenditure increased to 2.5% ( the highest in 75 years ). And is projected to increase as a percentage of budget.

With fast evolving AI, ML, robotics and automation, do WSJ really believe that in 2070, countries would still need young population to manufacture products ?
It's possible because people are basically used as captive markets. Like sheep. You are right that the meaningless jobs will be very high. But the government will find some way of employing. Be it in the army or police or vigilante s etc
Countries will definitely need young people to *CONSUME* products, regardless of who or what makes them. Massive production will be useless without an equally large consumer base. And consumer bases are what large successful economies are built upon.
Just because India has a similar population to China, it is not inevitable that India will be as successful as China. Except in population, the two countries do not have much in common, either in culture & history or physical geography. China will be China and India will be India.

India has lost the opportunity to surpass China, and population growth will soon become an economic burden for India. There is an obvious phenomenon in China. In the past few years, China has been encouraging everyone to have children, but in the past two years, China has completely downplayed this Policies, especially after the massive development of AI, India now feels that low-end manufacturing is taking away orders from China. But in fact, many factories are also opened by Chinese in India. If AI develops in a few more years, almost all low-end jobs will be Being completely replaced will have a devastating blow to India. The larger the population, the more devastating it will be. Finally, if India develops directly, will the United States be willing? India will have 1.5 billion people in the future. Will the United States and European countries agree? Just look at China and Japan and you should understand.

India's government has a traditional policy of resisting and restricting foreign investment. They see foreign investment as a threat. I have read that this has decreased. I wonder how much, and if it is enough.

India's equites was the second best performed stocks in 2022 with FII (foreign investment institutes) holding 20% of them.

The restriction policies, i think, are primarily there to prevent monopoly of foreign investors which destroys local businesses.

Large population = big economy ? This is really stupid reasoning. Both China and India have big populations through out the 20th century and yet they lagged far behind Japan and western countries. It's only when China started to open up the country and reform its economy from 1978, then China's economy started to rise. It continued to rise until China became the second largest economy in the world overtaking Japan and other western countries. Therefore big population does not magically transform India into a developed country.
@Joy That's a wrong assumption that per capita income GDP will increase with increasing population. E. g The population of 1 million people with per capita income GDP of US $2,000 When the population quickly increased to 2 million, the per capita income GDP does not remain the same, it's going to go down by 1/2 to US $ 1,000 if there's little economic growth. Furthermore, more babies born does not immediately translate into greater work force. You have to wait until 20 years later that these newly born to grow up and become productive members of the country. E. g a family man earns US $2,000 yearly. When his wife gives birth to 10 children, it doesn't mean that his family is becoming richer, that his his yearly income will increase 10X to US $20,000 with 10 children. Big family of 10 children is a huge burden to the man with small income. He may not be able to give sufficient food and educational to his 10 children. With more mouth to feed he may not be able to afford to pay for decent housing or a vehicle for himself. He'll have to wait at least 20 years for some of his children to grow up and to work. And with poor education backgrounds and poor living conditions, likely these children will repeat the same cycle of living in poverty with few improvements in life. If you Indians still believe in having more babies will magically transform India into a big economy, then go ahead and do it.
@Joy No, not immediately. You have to feed the babies for them to grow up and give them education. If too many babies are born, I'm afraid low income families can't afford to feed them, let alone give them education. It takes about 20 years from babyhood to adulthood for them to be able to get into the work force. I'm afraid you can't see the reality but blinded by false assumptions about increasing population = to increased prosperity. That's a stupid reasoning.

China's population may be shrinking but there are still so many people living in rural areas of China. Also one child policy made things worse but Chinese women are more independent in decision making than Western ladies in some ways. So the singles population is increasing. So do you want Chinese women to be more conservative? Western countries will experience the same if they stop immigration. Also there's a very low amount of workers in China as factory workers.

Its funny how so many people talking about automation/ AI. AI is not going to take over most of the industries anytime soon. Even if it happens, India still can choose not to automate their factories to create jobs for their population and make cheaper products for their own population to buy and use. Remember India has over a billion population. They can create their own manufacturing ecosystem and can survive with it. We've seen in the past many new jobs were created as humans discovered new technologies. The same might apply for the future. We wouldn't know what kind of new labour jobs that would be created in the future. I dont know why the comments are being too much pessimistic here.
Just because India’s population looks young it doesn’t mean they’re economically useful. What if the trends point to high youth unemployment in India? Civil unrest? Social discourse. More shift to male gender? What does that mean to India’s population. I urge you to visit and see how labour productivity performs.
If you look at the recent data, India is past that stage. The sex ratio is improving very fast, and economically, India is now at the same stage, China was in the year 2006, i.e. 3.7 Trillion USD. While maintaining a demographic profile, which is the same as what China had in 1991. Also, the Indian government has finally opened up a lot of sectors in the economy for domestic private and international players that were previously closed. At the same time, the US-China rivalry is pushing a lot of export oriented industries into India. India has a solid 50-year window to grow economically on both exports led and consumption led metrics. Indian leadership has to be extremely stupid and incompetent to let this opportunity go.
You are forgetting that India is also a democracy. The Indian Govt tried to bring coercive measures like Sterilization in mid-1970's. The party was voted out of power in the next term. Hence no political party would risk publicly stating such policies.
99% of India doest looks like as shown in this video ....

They made India look 10 year old .... I mean There are bad places But poverty is at its historical low in India

Then just watch it with both of your healthy eyes and keep it in your mind until you die that India's infrastructure has grown alot over the past decade....
India and China are different countries with different cultures. Population alone only means more mouths to feed. Government planning and people's will to succeed are the main driving forces. Nobody said China is perfect, but the result speaks for itself. Forty years of hard work turn China from a dirt-poor country into a modern society. Especially lift 800 million out of poverty.
The video isnt just about population, its about a population that is getting old, therefore unable to work and require younger generation to feed them. It has nothing to do with poverty, culture or nationality. China might as well be the most efficient government and be the richest in the world, but even the most efficient government cannot force you to have kids, and being rich doesnt stop people from retiring.
@@GGWP-gm5cq The population has everything to do with poverty, culture, and nationality. 1) Poverty - Bad government and wealth distribution (wealth controlled by a small majority of people), India and the United States, for example. 2) Culture and nationality - Most countries retained their own culture and nationality(they don't rely on immigrants to boost their population), except for the United States, Canada, and Australia have relied on immigrants to boost their population (sad to say, their native people's culture is destroyed or nonexistent). The aging population is a problem for the world, but the more populous countries might fare better only with good government and planning. Otherwise, it will become a disaster for themselves and the world.
@@robertwong2218 The United States, Canada, Australia, and The UK have boosted their population by adding citizens to their numbers and it has worked. Most advanced nations do not worry about ethnicity the way the Chinese do who are still very backwards in many respects but the most hilarious thing that you said was the The United States and India have their wealth concentrated among only a few people when China is a much bigger example of wealth concentration than either India or the United States.
@@Zack-fu4lo considering India had a closed economy up until 1991, that's still impressive. Also the fact that India is a democracy and cannot exactly force it's people to not have children may have a lot to contribute to India's lag.
A study by Yi Fuxian of University of Wisconsin showed that China was exaggerating its births for decades. His analysis showed that China's population is about 1.26 billion. It had fallen below India's population about 10 years ago. Since it was births that were exaggerated, that means that the demographic problem is even worse. It has fewer young people to drive its economy.
@@fuzzylogic3017 The UN and news media use the official Chinese figures, which is incompetent, since it is well known that China's figures are made up.
Why would they do that? they still had the one child policy, to appear like the population is growing would make it look like that measure failed right? Also, India's population count is also very unreliable, so much is bogged down in bureaucracy and the last census was 10 years ago. All these numbers are projections, so I guess you're right in choosing what to believe in the way to make you feel better.
@@sayple109 The false birth figures came from local governments. More births reported meant more funds from the central government. It is a bit of one hand not knowing what the other hand is doing.
@@sayple109 All censuses are difficult. What makes the Chinese census unreliable is the politics with it. No other nation wants to lie about their population like China does. India's inaccuracy, I think, will just come from normal error.

Yours and UN's prediction is faulty. India's fertility rate has already been below 2.0 for the last 4 years. The replacement rate to maintain constant population is 2.1. So, India's population is expected to start decreasing 2035 onwards.
It will be interesting to see what a 2050 world will look like.. China, India and the US will be the 3 largest economies.. China will most likely be at odds with US and India..

Idk about you but living in Kolkata, this is pretty much a daily scene. You don't have to be in Sealdah station to see this; just drive through Park Circus or Behala. I know what you're trying to say, images such as these perpetuate 'third world' stereotypes of India as still underdeveloped, but we are an overpopulated postcolonial nation with many migrant workers still highly exploited, precarious, and poor, and regardless of whether our middle class throngs malls with shopping bags or our "lower class" on streets with luggage over their heads, the reality is that we are still treating ourselves and each other, performatively, as obedient capitalist workers, slave ants -- and personally, the images of malls seem the most dystopian and depressing.
One way India can do right by its people is by investing heavily in its infrastructure and then relying on businesses (in-house and external) that will care about ethical and humanitarian issues and not be solely driven by profits. But the lack of infrastructure and huge unskilled workforce is no net positive.
Infrastructure is growing now faster compared to other decades(urban transit, expressways,institutions etc) main problem or fear is increasing rate of unemployment which will never solve completely atleast not in near future to defeat unemployment it should grow 18% which is nearly impossible.
@@rishav2205 Wow, well i think if we build infrastructure even faster we would create relatively more employment through contruction itself but also help create an ecosystm for people to create and build more businesses which would create more employment, however the other major issue is the lack of skilled workforce who is able to compete with increasing cost effective technological solutions hence why i say the future employment lies in the effort of ethical and humanitarian driven businesses more.
With the metric you offered makes me think India shuld seriously enact a population control policy because not doing so will only ensure more people will suffer more in coming decades...but maybe im wrong im not aware of all the metrics of the economy on the macro level.
@@KD9-37 yeah we should have more businesses that can generate employment but another positive is happening that many companies are going setup industries in future.

Right now i believe India should focus on investing in infrastructure that will boost in connecting the states of India and its economies. The economy of China is extremely connected and even tho they might speak different languages (similar writing script but different pronounciation) they have been able to create a system that is extremely efficient. Once India can fix it's infra problem they can allow the economy to grow even more as now India can supply itself and pay itself and grow it's domestic market while producing goods that might entice the global market.
Which is exactly what's happening, There's been a lot of focus on infra growth for the past few years. I believe it's the right timing.
Just investing Infra is Not enough...there has to be people and businesses (both small n big) to utilise that infra to do more business and for other convenience.

It is asinine that India will have more people than China this decade. Also, this is unrelated, but it really saddens me a lot that in several China vs. India military comparison videos, many YT users support India over China and that so many YT users belittle China and their army. China seems to get way too much hate, while India gets too much support and pride. I can literally list 1K comments that support India and 1K comments that dislike China. I heard words such as "Jai Hind India" and "Support India from Japan". China always seems to carry the burden of hate in many YT videos, very unfair.
mainly cause of the CCP. Also India is seen as the underdog, though I guess not anymore soon as they are one of the fastest developing countries in the world now due to relatively large infusion into infrastructure and pro capitalist reforms. But don’t be sad man, the West also has its own problems and I know as i live here 😂
That’s what listening to sensationalized “free” media does to people. Common sense and fact checking goes out the window because of hate, confirmation bias, etc. I saw a video the other day claiming that India’s new STOBAR carrier was “better” than the new Chinese CATOBAR carrier and the only evidence was “STOBAR carriers are tried and true” lol
That's because China bullies its neighbours. If China wants to counter the US, it needs to have a stable and friendly relationship with its neighbours. When they stop bullying everyone, people's perception may change. Chinese people are nice but half the world hates their government.
what do you expect? TH-cam is banned in China while it isnt banned in India, so of course Indian nationalists are more prevalent than chinese nationalists

There is no way India will ever touch 1.7 billion. The fertility rate of India is now 1.9 in 2023 and is declining at the rate of 7-8% per annum. India's population will peak around 1.6 billion between 2050-2055 and then decline to 900 million by 2100. At the same time, China's population will not be 750 million but somewhere between 500-550 million.
Some sources says that by 2100
India: 1,500,000,000 people
China: 750,000,000 people
Those are just projections and models, could be wrong entirely
True that bro
1.9 fertility rate of India? Where did you get this data from?? It's still more than 2.1.
And not to mention the fact that India has millions of illegal/undocumented immigrants from much more densely populated neighbor Bangladesh, plus Rohingyas. It never seemed they would be deported in future and rather would get regularised here over time and these people have high fertility rates. And, densely populated states like Bihar and eastern UP still maintains fertility rate over 3 even now. So, touching a figure of 1.7 billion seems no unrealistic to me.

If the economic rise and development is guaranteed by the rise of population, then the most densely populated state of Bihar in India would have been more fairly developed instead of being one of the most impoverished states in India.
@Tyt Xlx At the same time, Bihar also need to work on some cultural reforms to check it's fertility rate which is more than 3 and highest in India.
Apart from this, I don't think power sharing should be completely loose free as per the population ratio shared by the states as the equal representation and opportunity of the diverse federal states based on their linguistic and cultural identity needs to be guaranteed to some extent by some mechanism regardless of their population size. Else, smaller distinct states in India would practically loose their voice in the parliament.

India has lost the opportunity to surpass China, and population growth will soon become an economic burden for India. There is an obvious phenomenon in China. In the past few years, China has been encouraging everyone to have children, but in the past two years, China has completely downplayed this Policies, especially after the massive development of AI, India now feels that low-end manufacturing is taking away orders from China. But in fact, many factories are also opened by Chinese in India. If AI develops in a few more years, almost all low-end jobs will be Being completely replaced will have a devastating blow to India. The larger the population, the more devastating it will be. Finally, if India develops directly, will the United States be willing? India will have 1.5 billion people in the future. Will the United States and European countries agree? Just look at China and Japan and you should understand.
I love the way how western Media show China financial capital Shanghaito represent Thier country and India oldest city of Banaras to represent my country Hahaha😂😂 this is how they do propaganda against any developing country😂😂😂

That's typical. Western media also show footage from Bangladesh overcrowded trains to show world that indian trains are like that.
Western media will always show india like this even after india becomes 3rd largest economy in few years.
India is in a growth trajectory for next 15 years, demographics will help with more consumer spending 500 % more from now especially education and gadgets like mobile phones, tablets or whichever is relevant 5G, 6G etc
India's government has a traditional policy of resisting and restricting foreign investment.
They see foreign investment as a threat.
I have read that this has decreased. I wonder how much, and if it is enough.
Those r propagandas u have read for political reasons from this same media group. American & Europeans invest where their political & geopolitical interests r. It has nothing to do with any countries policy.
I agree that was the case before but now fdi of India is increasing rapidly every year😊
India's equites was the second best performed stocks in 2022 with FII (foreign investment institutes) holding 20% of them. Make in India policy is actually the opposite of restricting, it's an invitation to investors. The restriction policies, i think, are primarily there to prevent monopoly of foreign investors which destroys local businesses.
You can't blame us. Last time we allowed a Company, it costed us *"45 trillion Pounds being looted from us"* , 250 years of Colonisation , Intense Racism and Partition in 1947.
We are open to foreign investment in most industries
China still has hundreds of mililons of people in the small villages who are not yet employed in factories. So if the population falls, that will not reduce the labour force.
that makes no sense. the population pyramid takes those 'small villages' into account as well. Its talking about how the country overall is aging, including those small villages.

As an Indian, I find this so amusing because we are a country afraid to speak freely about sex and yet, clearly, all we seem to be doing is having sex and breeding like rabbits.
India's 🇮🇳population is big bcz we are a civilization state with 5000 yr of history
In 1950 India's population was already 330 million which is equal to 2022 USA 🇺🇲. So it is very natural for India to have a big population.
And free sex is not something to feel happy about bcz it will erode our family values.
As you are living in USA you must have al seen it already bcz according to American family association it estimated that 70 percent American men and 68 percent American women have cheated their partner. Their divorce rate is 50 percent even though the number of people who marry are low in thier country.
Indian should be grateful of growing in stable family where spouse stay loyal forever.

Large population = big economy ?
This is really stupid reasoning.
Both China and India have big populations through out the 20th century and yet they lagged far behind Japan and western countries.
It's only when China started to open up the country and reform its economy from 1978, then China's economy started to rise. It continued to rise until China became the second largest economy in the world overtaking Japan and other western countries.
Therefore big population does not magically transform India into a developed country.
@Joy
That's a wrong assumption that per capita income GDP will increase with increasing population.
E. g
The population of 1 million people with per capita income GDP of US $2,000
When the population quickly increased to 2 million, the per capita income GDP does not remain the same, it's going to go down by 1/2 to US $ 1,000 if there's little economic growth.
Furthermore, more babies born does not immediately translate into greater work force. You have to wait until 20 years later that these newly born to grow up and become productive members of the country.
E. g a family man earns US $2,000 yearly. When his wife gives birth to 10 children, it doesn't mean that his family is becoming richer, that his his yearly income will increase 10X to US $20,000 with 10 children. Big family of 10 children is a huge burden to the man with small income. He may not be able to give sufficient food and educational to his 10 children.
With more mouth to feed he may not be able to afford to pay for decent housing or a vehicle for himself.
He'll have to wait at least 20 years for some of his children to grow up and to work. And with poor education backgrounds and poor living conditions, likely these children will repeat the same cycle of living in poverty with few improvements in life.
If you Indians still believe in having more babies will magically transform India into a big economy, then go ahead and do it.
@Joy
No, not immediately.
You have to feed the babies for them to grow up and give them education.
If too many babies are born, I'm afraid low income families can't afford to feed them, let alone give them education.
It takes about 20 years from babyhood to adulthood for them to be able to get into the work force.
I'm afraid you can't see the reality but blinded by false assumptions about increasing population = to increased prosperity.
That's a stupid reasoning.

Hopefully India can become a High-Income Advanced Economy soon :-))
Despite the current problems facing China because of the One Child Policy, it was arguably still a success. China was poor, it made some gambles, now it is not poor. As a nation, and in the coastal cities, China is now very advanced. Despite its knock-on effects, the demographic dividend is potentially the main reason China is no longer one of the poorest nations on earth, which it was just 50 years ago.
And China will get richer before it get old...if it doesn't participate in any major wars before that ...I hope they dont.

Whenever, Western media talks about India and shows ,rural India from decades back with dusty roads and poverty, I think it's racist.... please put your act together and do proper research before publishing anything...
Just want to say one thing why all of the westran media is 3-4 decade old photos and videos to represent India while on the other side china as super clean and beautiful.
This is totally a racist thing in my opinion.
I would say westran doesn't want India to beacome a superpower.
Delhi vs Beijing. China is cleaner due to their social credit system, and is most prosperous due to their manufacturing push.
So the shrinking and ageing population in Japan, Korea, Italy, Taiwan, France are due to one child policy?
France population not thrinking...they birthrate is 1.8 and have many imigrant 😂😂😂
@@ucchau173 That's contributed by immigrants.
India's cultural norms are what prevented it from being in the same boat as china right now
Lol no it's not the culture it's worse education system they are just degree generating machines and also not having quality companies
China's population may be shrinking but there are still so many people living in rural areas of China. Also one child policy made things worse but Chinese women are more independent in decision making than Western ladies in some ways. So the singles population is increasing. So do you want Chinese women to be more conservative? Western countries will experience the same if they stop immigration. Also there's a very low amount of workers in China as factory workers. The industries are automated nowadays. It's not wise to trust manual labour in the future.
Now that India has the world's most populated country title we need to start focusing on so many things .... We need at least a growth rate of 8 to 9 percent per annum , build infrastructure like the way China did in the 90's and the 2000's also at the same time keep bridging the rich poor gap all these problems are tough .... But I do think India is ready for the challenge we are a vibrant democracy where we are dedicated towards finding new and creative solutions to all our problems unlike China .... So I am very confident of India's future and that if we keep on working hard and innovative we are definitely a force to recon with in the future .... Right now we are very well on the path of becoming one .... 🙂 ....

There is no good future for country like India. At best, it will function as a near stable middle income country & at worst, it will be a civil war like chaos of various fighting groups like caste, religion or language. Caste, religion & language dominate politics. 43% politician in Parliament have criminal records. Even scientists,teachers, doctors etc are selected by caste. And if the best candidate from a caste has marks in negative still he will be selected but that vacant position won't be given to candidate of other caste even if he is scoring 100%. 😂 This is a banana republic.

"If Independence is granted to India, power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues, freebooters; all Indian leaders will be of low calibre and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power and India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air and water would be taxed in India." What is wrong in this statements ? 9th fail will become CM of Bihar. I have already given data of 43% MP's have criminal cases. Others don't have cases doesn't mean they are pure. In many state assemblies, criminals are about 60-70%. We are giving environment cess. So obviously air is also taxed but indirectly still we aren't getting clean air. In 1990's when China was making special economic zones, we were playing mandal kamandal & whole 90's decade was wasted in multiple unstable governments. BJP comes to power in 2014 with ache din promise now their whole politics is about religion and only show off. For example Vande Bharat is a fancy EMU whose average speed is only 88 kmph. Some real work has been done but that's not even being near to what is required.

Every Western media does that now. There's a reason china maintains strict control on media in their country
Its funny how so many people talking about automation/ AI. AI is not going to take over most of the industries anytime soon. Even if it happens, India still can choose not to automate their factories to create jobs for their population and make cheaper products for their own population to buy and use. Remember India has over a billion population. They can create their own manufacturing ecosystem and can survive with it. We've seen in the past many new jobs were created as humans discovered new technologies. The same might apply for the future. We wouldn't know what kind of new labour jobs that would be created in the future. I dont know why the comments are being too much pessimistic here.
Just because India’s population looks young it doesn’t mean they’re economically useful. What if the trends point to high youth unemployment in India? Civil unrest? Social discourse. More shift to male gender? What does that mean to India’s population. I urge you to visit and see how labour productivity performs.
If you look at the recent data, India is past that stage. The sex ratio is improving very fast, and economically, India is now at the same stage, China was in the year 2006, i.e. 3.7 Trillion USD. While maintaining a demographic profile, which is the same as what China had in 1991. Also, the Indian government has finally opened up a lot of sectors in the economy for domestic private and international players that were previously closed. At the same time, the US-China rivalry is pushing a lot of export oriented industries into India. India has a solid 50-year window to grow economically on both exports led and consumption led metrics. Indian leadership has to be extremely stupid and incompetent to let this opportunity go.
Brother just wait next decade you will see india massive rise.
You are forgetting that India is also a democracy.
The Indian Govt tried to bring coercive measures like Sterilization in mid-1970's.
The party was voted out of power in the next term.
Hence no political party would risk publicly stating such policies.

What India’s Population Surpassing China’s Means for Global Economies | WSJ
Congratulations from China!
The whole world know india is super power, much better and richer than China.
Love from 🇮🇳❤️🇺🇸
Everything you say about India is true. But the opposite is also true.
India and China are different countries with different cultures. Population alone only means more mouths to feed. Government planning and people's will to succeed are the main driving forces. Nobody said China is perfect, but the result speaks for itself. Forty years of hard work turn China from a dirt-poor country into a modern society. Especially lift 800 million out of poverty.
The video isnt just about population, its about a population that is getting old, therefore unable to work and require younger generation to feed them. It has nothing to do with poverty, culture or nationality.
China might as well be the most efficient government and be the richest in the world, but even the most efficient government cannot force you to have kids, and being rich doesnt stop people from retiring.
@@GGWP-gm5cq The population has everything to do with poverty, culture, and nationality. 1) Poverty - Bad government and wealth distribution (wealth controlled by a small majority of people), India and the United States, for example. 2) Culture and nationality - Most countries retained their own culture and nationality(they don't rely on immigrants to boost their population), except for the United States, Canada, and Australia have relied on immigrants to boost their population (sad to say, their native people's culture is destroyed or nonexistent). The aging population is a problem for the world, but the more populous countries might fare better only with good government and planning. Otherwise, it will become a disaster for themselves and the world.
@@spiritualseeker410bruh, more than a decade behind
@@robertwong2218 The United States, Canada, Australia, and The UK have boosted their population by adding citizens to their numbers and it has worked. Most advanced nations do not worry about ethnicity the way the Chinese do who are still very backwards in many respects but the most hilarious thing that you said was the The United States and India have their wealth concentrated among only a few people when China is a much bigger example of wealth concentration than either India or the United States.
@@Zack-fu4lo considering India had a closed economy up until 1991, that's still impressive. Also the fact that India is a democracy and cannot exactly force it's people to not have children may have a lot to contribute to India's lag.

True
A study by Yi Fuxian of University of Wisconsin showed that China was exaggerating its births for decades. His analysis showed that China's population is about 1.26 billion.
It had fallen below India's population about 10 years ago.
Since it was births that were exaggerated, that means that the demographic problem is even worse. It has fewer young people to drive its economy.
Underrated, highly informative and relevant comment.
Thank you.👍
@@fuzzylogic3017 The UN and news media use the official Chinese figures, which is incompetent, since it is well known that China's figures are made up.
Why would they do that? they still had the one child policy, to appear like the population is growing would make it look like that measure failed right?
Also, India's population count is also very unreliable, so much is bogged down in bureaucracy and the last census was 10 years ago.
All these numbers are projections, so I guess you're right in choosing what to believe in the way to make you feel better.
